    I wonder about these tests -- the first one, about forced task preempting,
    looks pretty convincing, but the other two use LambdaCore verbs (such as
    player:tell() and $string_utils:explode()) that take a lot of overhead.
    I don't know Cold from a hole in the wall, but it does seem like there
    are more efficient ways in MOO (using notify(), match(), etc.) to
    accomplish these tested tasks.

    Could you try running the tests using just MOO builtins?
